[People are gradually becoming more integrated with machines. Whether it's through AR and VR, cybernetic augmentation, brain-computer interfaces, or chip implants, we trace humanity's cyborg future. A
cyborg, short for "
cybernetic organism", is a being with both organic and biomechatronic body parts. The term was coined in 1960 by Manfred Clynes and Nathan S. Kline.]
It’s a step towards a system that would let people send texts straight from their brains.This is probably the best work being done in BCI [brain-computer interfaces] right now,” says Andrew Schwartz, a researcher on such technologies at the University of Pittsburgh. He says if researchers were to put probes within the brain tissue, not just overlying the brain, the accuracy could be far greater.
